Man Utd working on plans for new 100,000-seater stadium

Manchester United is considering plans to construct a new 100,000-seater stadium at a new location near Old Trafford. The club believes that such a capacity will meet the high demand for tickets and provide a sustainable future for the ground. The club’s joint task force, including public figures like Lord Sebastian Coe and Gary Neville, is currently focusing on exploring the feasibility and financing of a new build. The preference is for a new stadium rather than renovating the existing one, and the team could continue to play at Old Trafford during the construction process. Financing options being considered include sponsorship, borrowing, or external funding. The aim is to retain the heritage and historic elements of Old Trafford in the potential new stadium, which is expected to take around six years to complete. The project also aims to stimulate economic growth and development in the surrounding area.
